Camp N (Nuvali Eco Park)



THE SUN WAS SCORCHING HOT! We reached the place at around 1:00 pm via a Nuvali coaster. The fare was 20 php per person and the ride lasted for 10 to 15 minutes only---welcome to CAMP N! 


                  



The camp opened last April 16, 2016. By the looks of the site, it seems that earthlings haven’t exploited the place yet, haha! So we are among the first human beings to try the amenities and be challenged. What are we waiting for? Let’s get it on!


AT THE ENTRANCE, you'll see a vicinity map which will guide you on the locations of their amenities.


The vast area boasts different amenities that will test both your physical endurance and brave soul. So if you’re a daredevil or simply a thrill-seeker, the place will cater to your dauntless cravings. As for our case, we need something that would make our trip to Nuvali somewhat worthy, so we immediately embraced the challenges, not knowing that most are death-defying! yay! Well, the three things that I’m eyeing in this encounter are the following:

  1. Nerve-racking challenges
  2. Value for money
  3. Accessibility


So as you go along this post, I’ll let you savor my insights regarding those three criteria to help you decide if the place is worthy to be visited soon :)



FIRST THINGS FIRST!


Oops! Before anything else, please be informed of the following: (You might get overjoyed with the stuff that you’ll be seeing later, for sure, but you must first know the rules)


Wear the proper attire

All of my friends are wearing shoes, while I'm wearing an open-toed footwear---great, brilliant me *sarcasm intended* Make sure that you'll come in complete gear: sporty clothes and rubber shoes are recommended. (refer to the photo below for complete list of requirements and guidelines)



TAKE NOTE of the following! 


Bring your own water and food

The food shop is still closed, I don't know when it will be fully-functional. So for you not to starve, it is advisable that you bring snacks with you, or just arrive there an hour after taking a sumptuous meal.  


Prepare your budget

The amenities can be a bit pricey, especially for students, so you must prepare 500 php to 1500 php, depending on the packages you want to try. Take note: A single ticket is good for single use only, no take two's! The cheapest 'challenge' can be tried at 60 php, the most expensive one is at 1000 php, plus the entrance fee of 80 php. 



COMPLETE PRICE LIST of the individual amenities and the packages


IS EVERYTHING SET? You can now check-out what's inside CAMP N! 


My guy friends availed Package F: Zip & Jump (450 php + 80 php entrance) and since the zipline long is not available that time, they replaced it with zipline short plus climbing wall for free, good deal huh? :) While for us girls, we just tried the zipline short (150 php + 80 php entrance).


The TICKETS


And then off we go!...OH WAIT! by the way, we signed a waiver upon choosing the activities and before paying :) 


The climbing wall activity was a bit difficult because of the obstacle, my friends can't even make it halfway, hoho! 


The rappel wall challenge looks like the other rappelling activities I engaged with in past. 


The free fall dare is the scariest in my opinion. It may look simple but the feeling of climbing up the tower will add-up to the fear, which will eventually be magnified by standing at the edge and allowing yourself to fall from 65 feet above the ground. 


The zipline short is just more or less a 30-second ride around the area where the tower is rooted. But the crazy twist here is this: It is actually a roller coaster zipline! yes, with loops that will slam your body in the air! 



THE ADVENTURE TOWER houses the climbing wall, rappel wall, free fall and zipline (long and short) activities.

It took us roughly 3 1/2 hours to complete the challenges, of course with hesitations in between, haha! But at least it was all worth it. I even have plans to return and try the challenges I missed, and I'll make sure to come in complete gear. 



My guy friends :) And there's Mr. J  of course (second from the left) They are all my high school classmates / buddies.

PREPPIN-UP! See, I'm wearing sandals, yikes!

THUMBS-UP! Me with my friend, JC...ready to rock-on!

YES WE ARE SMILING...but actually, my knees are shaking -_-

I'M ON TOP! Every step was nerve-racking *sigh*

Perfect for the brave souls and even for those who just want to conquer their fears. Moreover, reasonable prices for all the amenities, plus, all of their gears (harness, ropes and helmets) are in excellent condition. It is also very accessible, you just need to know how to get to Nuvali Eco Park (Read my blog post thru this link: A DAY IN NUVALI). Lastly, I think they have one of the kindest staffs / crews, very accommodating, you'll feel safe and secured. 


Here are some of the activities that we haven't tried, but also looks exciting:





OBSTACLE COURSE


OBSTACLE COURSE


AERIAL WALK


I encourage everyone to visit the place with your family and friends! Don't forget to have fun!


I hope you enjoyed this post! Comment your insights below :)
